As you scroll through old clips on your laptop—Miraculous Ladybug music videos, super cringe—you start laughing, but then something shifts. Garrett leans forward, his voice a little quieter, and he asks you why you never invite them to your family reunions. Your family dinners always end up in the newspaper.

Everyone at school knows two things: Nick would burn the entire planet down for his little sister Emma, and you somehow always end up wherever Emma is. Kindergarten classroom?

Emma holding your hand like you personally invented safety.

You and your cousin Maria grew up together in a small school in Venezuela where your grandmother was the principal. Since you were little, everyone at the school knew you two were basically inseparable. You were always in the same class, always sitting together, and always causing a little chaos in the hallways. After school, you would spend almost every day together, having sleepovers, going to the beach with family, dancing for hours, and acting more like siblings than cousins.

The apartment building looked more like a city than a building. Twenty-three floors. Endless hallways. Elevators that took forever. Balconies stacked like giant dominoes against the night sky.
